The aesthetics trap is thinking the course is the business. Training is the entry ticket. The business is: compliant prescribing, defensible consent, adverse event readiness, and unit economics (indemnity + stock + premises + marketing).
The prescribing partner trap (and why remote is collapsing)
If you rely on a prescribing partner for prescription-only medicines, your model must track regulator rules on in-person assessment. From 1 June 2025, NMC standards require face-to-face consultation before nurse/midwife prescribers issue prescriptions for non-surgical cosmetic medicines. If your model depended on remote prescribing, redesign it.
Cost stack you must budget (before you treat a single patient)
Core costs typically include: appropriate indemnity/insurance, clinical supplies and stock (including emergency meds), prescribing workflow (if not prescribing yourself), premises costs, consent/documentation systems, waste/sharps disposal, and marketing acquisition.
